Hand Forged Bearded Tomahawks & Axes

A bearded axe, or Skeggöx refers to various axes, used as a tools and weapons, as early as the 6th century AD. It is most commonly associated with Viking Age Scandinavians. The
lower portion of the axe bit is called the "beard" and the cutting edge of the bearded axe extends below the width of the butt to provide a wide cutting surface while keeping the overall weight
of the axe low. The hook, or "beard" of the axe would have also been useful in battle, to hook onto things, such as shields or weapons, to pull them out of the defender's grasp.

Additionally this design allows the user to grip the haft directly behind the head for planing or shaving wood. Variations of this design are still in use by modern woodworkers and some
foresters.

We make both clipped and pointed Bearded hawks in large and extra large sizes:

Due to the fact that all of our hawks and knives are made individually and by hand, and only Jarrod is making them, we are not able to keep a supply of them on hand. For that reason your order may take as long as 14 weeks to be shipped to you. If you need it sooner we ask that you call us and speak to us personally. That way we can be aware of your timing needs and do our best to get it to you faster.
We appreciate your keeping us so busy!
